On November 29th, Magister JFT | E-law, D.S.A. Pattern and KNVI-JI & IT Recht organize the Law meets Data Science symposium.
It is no secret that misuse of personal data can get a company in big trouble with the law. Let it be clear that knowledge of the law can be benificial for the average data scientist. But can data science help the law as well? Do administration and automated decision making go well together? These and more questions get answered in the Law meets Data Science Symposium.

We have three awesome speakers from various disciplines and two students who will tell about their studies. To wrap up, there's a paneldiscussion between all speakers with questions that may provoke heated debate, so stay seated until the end! You will be rewarded with some drinks and an opportunity to talk to and discuss further.
